FOCUS – Spot AF
1. Place your subject inside the
spot-focus area.
2. Press and hold the spot AF
button.
• Focus is confirmed when appears in
the viewfinder.
3. Press the shutter-release
button all the way down to
take the picture.

remain locked until the spot AF button is released.
will appear in the viewfinder,
indicating the center focus sensor is
being used.
Wide focus area uses the camera’s
three focus sensors to automatically
focus on your subject. The wide
focus area provides greater framing
flexibility and makes it easier for the
camera to focus on moving
subjects. Wide focus area is the
camera’s standard focus mode.
FOCUS – Wide Focus Area
The camera determines which sensor is
focusing on your subject and sets the
focus accordingly.
• The focus areas are not visible in the
viewfinder frame.
The focus area indicator in the
viewfinder tells you which
sensor the camera is using.
5554
FOCUS – AF Illuminator
The AF Illuminator is a secondary
function of the built-in flash. When the
scene is too dark for the camera to
focus accurately, the built-in flash fires
a few short bursts when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway
down to provide the illumination
necessary for the camera to focus on
your subject.
• Pressing the spot AF button also activates
the AF illuminator.
• The range of the AF Illuminator flash is approximately one to five
meters.
• The AF illuminator will not fire in continuous focus mode or if
flash cancel ( ) is selected.
• The AF illuminator will not operate with 300mm or longer single
focal length lenses.
• The AF illuminator will not operate with 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
• When an accessory flash is attached, its AF illuminator will be
active in place of the camera’s AF illuminator.
Custom Function 9 (p82) lets you cancel the built-in flash’s
AF illuminator if it will interfere with your subject or is
inappropriate.
FOCUS – Manual Focus
1. Press the focus-mode button.
will appear in the
data panel.
2. Turn the focusing ring until
your subject appears sharp
and focused.
• appears in the viewfinder when the
subject in the focus frame is in focus.
• Press the focus-mode button again to
return to the autofocus mode.
Pull and turn the control ring
until your subject appears
sharp.
Focus the lens manually when autofocus is not suitable and focus
hold is not possible. The autofocus system will monitor focus and
indicate when a subject in the focus frame is in focus.

Use only the center metering
segment to lock the exposure
settings without locking the focus.
The exposure remains locked until
the spot/AE lock button is
released.
• Pressing the spot/AE lock button sets
the flash to slow sync mode (p67).
EXPOSURE – Spot Metering
2. Press and hold the spot/AE
lock button.
• and the locked exposure will be
displayed in the viewfinder.
3. Recompose the scene as
desired, then press the
shutter-release button all the
way down to take the picture.
• The exposure is held until the spot/AE lock
button is released.
1. Place the spot-metering area
on the subject whose
exposure you want to lock.
EXPOSURE – 14 Segment Metering
Fourteen-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering uses information
from the autofocus system to set the metering pattern according to
the position of the main subject. The light metered by each
applicable segment is then evaluated to determine the degree of
spot-lighting or backlighting present in your scene. The focus-area
indicator displays the sensor being used when the shutter release
button is pressed partway down.
Fourteen-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering is the camera’s
standard metering mode and is appropriate for most photographic
situations.

EXPOSURE – Setting the ISO Manually
1. Turn the function dial to ISO.
2. Press the function button and
turn the control dial until the
desired ISO value appears in
the data panel.
Set the film speed manually when you want to override the DX-coded
film speed or when using non-DX-coded film. Film speeds can be set
from ISO 6 to 6400 in 1/3EV increments.
Film must be loaded before the ISO can be changed.
Bright scenes such as snow or beach
scenes are often underexposed. Dark
scenes are often overexposed. Exposure
compensation lets you adjust the metered
exposure +/– 3 stops in 1/2 stop
increments.
The metering system in this
camera averages the readings from
each active metering segment to
determine an exposure that will
achieve an average middle grey
tone on the film.
EXPOSURE – Exposure Compensation
Press the exposure-
compensation button and turn
the control dial until the desired
compensation value appears in
the data panel.
• Exposure compensation remains until it is
reset or cancelled.
• To cancel exposure-compensation, repeat
the above procedure and select 0.0 or
press the program-reset button.
• Exposure compensation is not available in
M-mode.

selected.
• An attached Minolta accessory flash will be set to off when
bracketing is selected.
• If an AF series flash is mounted and on when bracketing is
selected, will blink in the data panel and the shutter
will lock until the flash is turned off.

bracketed series. The order of the exposures will be the metered
exposure, 1/2-stop under the metered exposure, 1/2 stop over the
metered exposure.
• The automatic bracketing feature cannot bracket flash exposures.
This effect is most visible when slide film is being used.

EXPOSURE – Multiple Exposure
• The above corrections are intended as a general guideline. Some testing may
be necessary to produce the desired results.
• Exposure can be compensated in 1/2 EV increments using the exposure
compensation function (p58) and in 1/3 EV increments by changing the ISO
manually (p59).
The meter in your camera determines exposure (EV) based on the
assumption that only one exposure will be made on each frame.
When making multiple exposures, the EV for each additional
exposure needs to be reduced or over exposure will result.
• Compensation is not necessary if all of the exposures have dark backgrounds
and the subjects of the exposures will not overlap.
Metering Multiple Exposures
Compensate the exposures as follows:
Number of
Exposures

Adjustment
1. Turn the function dial to .
EXPOSURE – Multiple Exposure
blinks in the data panel,
indicating the next exposure
will be the last in the series.
• To take more than 2 exposures, repeat
steps 1 and 2 until ME glows in the data
panel.
4. Press the shutter-release
button all the way down again
to take the last exposure.
• Multiple-exposure mode is cancelled after
the last exposure has been taken.
Cancelling Multiple Exposure
2. Press the function button and
turn the control dial until OFF
appears in the data panel.
Sliding the main switch to LOCK does not cancel multiple
exposure mode.

In P and A-modes, slow-shutter
sync sets a slower shutter speed to
increase the background or ambient
lighting exposure in a flash picture.
Flash output will automatically be
decreased to maintain a correct
exposure of your subject.
FLASH – Slow Sync
1. Frame your subject.
2. While pressing the spot/AE
lock button, press the shutter-
release button all the way
down to take the picture.
• If the background is bright or a large
aperture is set (A-mode), the shutter speed
may not be reduced.
• Use a tripod if the shutter speed becomes
too slow to allow sharp, hand-held pictures
after you press the spot/AE lock button.
• and the locked exposure will be
displayed in the viewfinder.
Slow-shutter Sync
Conventional Flash
FLASH – High-Speed Sync
Attach the 5400HS flash and set it to standard mode.
• The camera will automatically switch to HSS mode and H will appear in the
viewfinder and data panel.
• HSS cannot be used under fluorescent lights.
• Flash and color meters cannot meter the flash when high-speed sync is
selected.
The maximum sync speed for this
camera is 1/125. However, with the
5400HS accessory flash (sold
separately) shutter speeds up to
1/4000 can be used. High-speed
sync (HSS) allows faster shutter
speeds when fill flash is used on
moving subjects outdoors.
Refer to the 5400HS instruction manual for details.
High-speed Sync
Conventional Fill Flash
HSS also lets you use large aperture/high
shutter-speed combinations to separate
your subject from the background by
limiting the depth-of-field.
